This is a free preview of our weekly fantasy football matchups, all of which are available to Fantasy Source Football members.Each week Fantasy Source experts break down the matchups for NFL games from a fantasy perspective. Our tiered star ratings tell you how strongly we feel about each player's chances for a breakout performance. We analyze players based on how well their opponent defends that position and other factors such as statistical trends, playing-time potential and the talent level of the players and the teams involved.

5-Star Players

LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles. While there are several questions surrounding Chip Kelly's offense, there is no question that McCoy will be at the center of it. Expect a heavy workload against an overall weak Redskins defense. McCoy is a stud RB1.

4-Star Players

Robert Griffin III, QB, Redskins. RG3's recovery from knee surgery went as well as hoped and he'll be under center in Week 1. Even though we didn't get to see him in the preseason, fantasy owners can trust him as a fantasy starter. This is a great matchup against an Eagles defense that was awful last season and looked even worse this preseason. Griffin may not run much initially, but he should still put up plenty of fantasy points in Week 1.

DeSean Jackson, WR, Eagles. Jackson is one of the wild cards in the Eagles offense. As the most proven pass-catcher, we're assuming he's going to be heavily targeted even though the Eagles will likely keep the ball on the ground as much as possible. The major difference for D-Jax this year could be that he becomes less reliant on deep routes, which should improve his consistency. If he gets more involved in the short-passing game as expected, that should give Jackson opportunities to showcase his unique playmaking ability after the catch. There's a lot of upside here, especially against a terrible Redskins secondary, so start Jackson confidently as a WR2 this week.

Alfred Morris, RB, Redskins. Even the Fantasy Source staff seems to be down on Morris after he slipped in the majority of fantasy drafts this summer. Still, he's the Redskins' workhorse and will benefit from having RG3 back under center. Sure, Morris could lose some passing downs to Roy Helu, but he's still Washington's feature back and the go-to option around the goal line. Morris is an RB1 against a weak Eagles run D even if his star rating seems a little low this week.

Michael Vick, QB, Eagles. If you drafted Vick, then you obviously don't mind taking calculated risks. In that case, give him a shot this week against a Redskins pass defense that was one of the worst in 2012. Though both teams sport solid running games, this could ultimately turn into a shootout between Vick and RG3. The main knock on Vick is his inability to stay healthy, but that's not a concern entering Week 1. Swing for the fences and start him in primetime Monday night.

2-Star Players

Pierre Garcon, WR, Redskins. Garcon and Griffin both enter Week 1 relatively healthy, which is great news for both players' fantasy values. As for the matchup, the Eagles allowed 33 receiving TDs last year and didn't look improved at all in the preseason. Now healthy, Garcon should be Griffin's go-to receiver and will exploit the holes in Philly's secondary. He has as much upside as any other fantasy WR2 you'll find.

Fred Davis, TE, Redskins. Davis missed most of last season with an Achilles injury. Now healthy, he's a prime bounce-back candidate in what should be a dangerous passing attack. Don't start him right away, though. We'll need to see exactly how he fits into this offense after missing so much time and whether he has a strong connection with RG3. Davis certainly has the talent to become an every-week TE1, he just needs the targets. Watch his usage closely Monday night.

Alex Henery, K, Eagles. Like everyone else in the Eagles' presumed up-tempo offense, Henery has plenty of upside. That's especially true this week in what should be a high-scoring affair against Washington. Because of all that scoring potential, Henery warrants a start in most fantasy leagues even though he's been relatively disappointing in his first two seasons.

Redskins defense/special teams. You might be tempted to start the Redskins because of Vick's turnover potential in an unfamiliar offense, but that could blow up in your face if the Eagles come out firing. Plus, the Redskins D/ST isn't projected to be very good anyway. Don't mess with this potential disaster.

1-Star Players

Brent Celek, TE, Eagles. Celek's role in the Eagles' new-look offense is largely unknown, especially with the additions of TEs James Casey and Zach Ertz. It's most likely that these three will steal value from one another all season, so keep them out of your fantasy lineups unless one emerges as Vick's safety blanket or preferred red-zone option.

Kai Forbath, K, Redskins. Forbath averaged 8.4 fantasy points per game and went 17 of 18 on field-goal attempts last year. That's solid, but we need to see a little more from Forbath and the Redskins offense before trusting him in fantasy lineups. There are more proven kickers in similar, high-upside offenses out there.

0-Star Players

Bryce Brown, RB, Eagles. Although Brown should be used frequently to spell McCoy, it's no guarantee that the Eagles actually give him the ball when he's on the field. Plus, he still has crippling fumbling issues that could land him on the bench permanently at any moment. There's too much uncertainty and risk to consider starting Brown in Week 1.

Roy Helu, RB, Redskins. Helu should take over as Washington's third-down back this year, giving Morris the occasional breather. We're not expecting that role to result in many touches, though, especially early in the season as Helu gets acclimated with the offense after missing much of last season. He could eventually become a PPR asset, but Helu isn't worth starting in Week 1.

Santana Moss, WR, Redskins. The 34-year-old Moss is often forgotten about in the Redskins offense, making him an afterthought in fantasy circles. He'll pop up for the occasional touchdown and a big game every now and then, but Moss' production will be even more inconsistent than last year with Garcon back. He's not worthy of a WR3 spot.

Riley Cooper, WR, Eagles. Cooper made headlines for the wrong reasons this preseason, which overshadowed his upside as Jeremy Maclin's replacement in this offense. We weren't quite sure about how trustworthy Maclin would have been under Kelly anyway, so we're even less sure of Cooper's ability to make an impact, even in what should be a great matchup this week. Cooper isn't on the fantasy radar yet.

Eagles defense/special teams. The Eagles D was a giant disappointment last year and looked even worse this preseason. We're certainly not recommending them in primetime against RG3. This unit has a long way to go before it can be trusted in any matchup.
